E.'PINUXK, ol Multnomah county THE DUTY ON WHEAT Hl'MHUU. Republican demagogucs.in pursuance of their high war tariff protection humbug, try to convince the farmer that he is pro tected by the 20 cent duty on wheat, and tell him that but for this duty Canada would supply all the wheat to the New York and Chicago markets. Precious little difference would it make to the farmer" if this were so. Producing as this country does, an enormous surplus of wheat, she must necessarily export it.The surplus is sold in the Liverpool market, in open competition with wheat produced by the ryot labor of India, the peasants of Slavic Europe, and the ex-serfs of Russia, The price at which American wheat is sold at Liverpool fixes the price at which it is sold in this country ; and it must necessari iy be so, whether the tariff on wheat is 20 cents or a dollar.or five dollars per bushel, or whether wheat is duty free. The Cana- dian wheat which might be offered at New York or Chicago in competition with American wheat,if the duty were taken off, is now offered at Liverpool in competition with It, and with precisely the same effect on prices. In the nature of things no tariff, high or low, can protect any commodity of which the country produces more than it can con sume. The surplus must be sold in the open markets of the world for what thev will bring ;' and what the surplus brings will necessarily determine the price of the whole. This is axiomatic. It is so plain that it does not admit of argument. It is assumed by political economy, just as it Is assumed that 2 and 2 are 4, or that water runs down hill and not up hill. The duty on wheat is not a duty for protection or a duty for revenue, but a duty for humbug, It is laid for no other purpose than to make the farmers believe that they are getting a share of the "swag" produced by the sys tem of licensed spoliation. Cash wheat sold at Chicago Monday for 82 cents. It would have brought 82 cents if wheat had been en the free list, and it wouldn't have brought a cent more if the duty had been a dollar a bushel Walla Walla Statesman. In the Grand Rapids (Mich.) Democrat we find such dispatches from various parts bf the state as these : "Joseph Edwards and 87 other farmers of Grand Haven township have left the g. o. p. and have come out for Cleveland and Thurman. Edwards is a bright, well-posted Scotchman and has been looking up the tariff, and has come to the conclusion that it's no p.ace just at present for a farmer in the republican party,and will do active.ag gressive work for Cleveland, Burt and Ford." . .,. "The political horizon is somewhat dis turbed in this vicinity ; It looks changea ble and is evidently prepared for a heavy shower of democratic votes in November. Republican local factions are much divided and dissatUfied ; republicans are joining both the democratic and prohibition par- tics while some "take to the woods" as the means of showing their discontent. If the state gains in proportion to this vicinity it will go democratic by '75,000 majority. Fruit growers kick on the "free whisky" platform and will vote to keep up the price on their wines which they seem to class as a luxury. Congressman Ford Is looked up on as an Ideal congressman, and men irre spective of party will support him when the proper time comes." 'George D. Burliton,oneof the solid men of this township (Grand Haven) and an old soldier, declared for Cleveland and Thur man this morning. E. V. Branch, a life long republican and former township clerk, came nut for the democratic candidates al so. There's a stampede toward the reform ticket in this township." The republican leaders are turning every stone to find means of counteracting the strong tide of democratic sentiment throughout Indiana. The following letter is the latest revelation. It is from a veter an soldier living near Attica : "I tried for fifteen years to get a pension, but could I ne rer get my claim allowed while Dudley I was at the head of the Pension Bureau. He rejected my papers seven times. When Black got at the head of the Bureau I ap plied, and now I draw $24 a month. Now Dudley is a lawyer at Washington, and he wiitesme that I am entitled to $31 month. Why did lie reject my papers when he had the power to grant me a pension ? Now he knows I have got a pension and he thinks by writing to me that he can bribe me to vote the free whisky ticket. Take warning all you soldiers that have got your pensions under the Cleveland administra. tion and vote for the man that is a friend of the soldier,but is down on those that de mand pensions but have no right to them. Yours for Cleveland, George J. Wolf.' lotice of Removal. Editors Democrat : Why should a newsdealer, whose patrons are people of all political parties, make it a point to caretuny display in his show win dow, all political cartoons In favor of his I own party, while rarely exhibiting those In favor of the other party?

Albany, It is Dr. PortugaloiT, a Russian physi clan, who has discovered that a man can't drink whisky after taking strychnine. It did not require a gentleman with such a remarkable International name to find that out. A great many men knew that strych nine would disqualify a person for drinking whisky or anything else.

Judge Thurman and Congressman Mills have accepted Invitations to attend the democratic barbecue to be held at Chicago, Aug. 36. They will make speeches, and Mr. Mills will devote his attention to the tariff. It Is said Judge Thurman will speak near ly every night during the campaign, com mencing the und inst. at Port Huron, Mlcli.
